5.0

I don’t think any book has made me feel, and cry as much as this book. I found it hard to connect with this book at first, but it became clear to me why that was. I give so much credit to Matthew Quick for being brave enough to approach the topic of mass shootings. They are something all Americans live with a conscious or unconscious fear of and yet there seems to be a shortage on meaningful conversation around them. I am so glad Matthew Quick took on this challenge and did it in such a beautiful and raw way.
